Enterprise companies look to Zebra and our channel eco-system to help them successfully navigate the massive operating system (OS) transition as they invest in mobile solutions for improved productivity, differentiated customer experiences and evolving business models. At the Global Partner Summit in May 2015, Zebra announced making our Application Migration services available to our channel partners to help scale their ability to meet growing market and customer demand. The ITR Mobility/iFactr acquisition strengthens Zebra’s ability to provide rapid, cost-effective conversion of legacy mobility applications to current systems and a platform for supporting the ongoing evolution of options that will exist in their future operations too.

The sale culminates ITR Group’s successful incubation of two pioneers in the cross-platform mobile applications and development space and reinforces ITR Group’s continued focus on its growing IT strategic staffing business as its customers continue to transform IT from support function to business driver.

KEY FACTS

With mobile application “virtualization” from ITR Mobility leveraging iFactr, existing applications from Zebra channel partners and customers can run on modern devices and have future OS flexibility.

iFactr offers the only migration path for legacy Windows Mobile/CE.NET compact framework applications to work on Windows Embedded 8 Handheld, iOS, and Android devices without a complete rewrite of the applications.

iFactr’s application porting technology simplifies and accelerates the migration to modern OS by dramatically reducing the time to market and cost of application porting through mobile application virtualization.

The ITR Mobility/iFactr team also brings strong expertise in creating new all-touch application user experiences.
